On the Cross Christ took my placeHe died for me so I could run this raceHis blood was shed to set me freeFrom sin and death this is what I believeIt’s in His Word I believe is trueHe’s calling out to you know whoSo don’t delay to respondIt is you He’s calling onIt is grace He alone providesHis mercy says you don’t have to dieAll alone and apart from GodWho alone knows your every flawHere’s the message I hope you hearI hope it comes across loud and clearUpon that Cross Christ took your placeHe died for you to give you graceHis blood was shed to set you freeFrom sin and death soforever with Him you will be

This is the finished poem from the previous version of Tear Stained Eyes that was posted.

One foot in front and one foot behindI’m walking the fence going out of my mindLimb by limb I climb up a treeIt’s out of the darkness that I try to seeBut I’m blinded by pain and blinded by scarsIt’s a stronghold that has me locked behind barsI can’t seem to run and can’t seem to hideI’ve got a fortress built with walls that are highYou want to get in and I try to get outI have voices in my head that just scream and shoutI sit in the corner with tear stained eyesLooking for an outcome that’s forward and wiseI hear a message about Christ that opens my earsIt’s His message of love that’s drawing me nearHe draws me in close, He draws me from afarHe gives me hope by healing my scarsHe gives me His mercy, He gives His graceHe gives me His strength to run in this raceHe called me out of darkness and into the lightHe encourages me to stand firm in this fightBy His own Word this war has been wonAll because of Jesus, God’s only Son

One foot in front and one foot behindI’m walking the fence going out of my mindLimb by limb I climb up a treeIt’s out of the darkness that I try to seeBut I’m blinded by pain and blinded by scarsIt’s a stronghold that has me locked behind barsI can’t seem to run and can’t seem to hideI’ve got a fortress built with walls that are too highYou want to get in and I try to get outI have voices in my head that just scream and shoutI sit in the corner with tear stained eyesLooking for an outcome that’s forward and wiseI hear a message about Christ that opens my earsIt’s His message of love that’s drawing me near
